Description

Involved in optokinetic behavior and visual perception. Used to study congenital stationary night blindness and congenital stationary night blindness 1A. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital stationary night blindness 1A and night blindness. Is expressed in retinal ganglion cell layer; retinal inner nuclear layer; retinal inner plexiform layer; and retinal outer plexiform layer. Orthologous to human NYX (nyctalopin).
